But that does not entitle you to a free month of service no matter how much you and your husband act like complete dickheads toward me. Sorry.

2. I think it's funny that people think they will get better service by being assholes.
If it was possible for me to piss in their internet connection, I would.

5. If they're assholes to begin with
they'll take any opportunity to show us.



Like, say, winning a football game.

6. I'm just glad I don't have to work tomorrow.
Most of the customers I take calls from are from New England, so they're gonna be a grumpy lot tomorrow I reckon.

4. Tech support for internet and phone...
But it was an all service outage, so when I told them, their douche level jumped about 5,000%.

8. They may or may not have wanted me to pleasure them as well.
Can't be sure. I owe them a lot since they were missing the game and all. :eyes:

It wasn't too bad, it was actually pretty hilarious, just the audacity some people have.

11. I hear ya...
my evening was more along the lines of, '...no sir, we didn't cause the outage just to make you mad.' Assholes, the lot of them!

12. Not unless there's competition in the area...
...and unless the company in question feels the need to reduce customer churn.
